Multiple Validation group on a same field

Question

Can I have multiple validation groups for the one sail component? 
 Considering I have Field A, Field B, and 3 buttons. Field A is mandatory for 2 buttons Button_A and Button_B. How to achieve this? 
 {
 a!columnsLayout(
 columns: {
 a!columnLayout(
 contents: {
 a!textField(
 label: "Name",
 labelPosition: "ABOVE",
 saveInto: {},
 required: true,
 refreshAfter: "UNFOCUS",
 validationGroup: 
 {
 "Button_A",
 "Button_B"
 }
 
 ),
 a!textField(
 label: "Mobile Number",
 labelPosition: "ABOVE",
 saveInto: {},
 required: true(),
 refreshAfter: "UNFOCUS",
 validations: {},
 validationGroup: "Button B"
 )
 }
 ),
 
 }
 ),
 a!buttonArrayLayout(
 buttons: {
 a!buttonWidget(
 label: "Button A",
 style: "NORMAL",
 submit: true(),
 validationGroup: "Button_A"
 ),
 a!buttonWidget(
 label: "Button B",
 style: "NORMAL",
 submit: true(),
 validationGroup: "Button_B"
 ),
 a!buttonWidget(
 label: "Button C",
 style: "NORMAL",
 submit: true(),
 validationGroup: "Button_C"
 )
 },
 align: "START"
 )
}

Great to know! Another completely undocumented feature. 
 A small test: 
 {
 a!columnsLayout(
 columns: {
 a!columnLayout(
 contents: {
 a!textField(
 label: "Text (A)",
 labelPosition: "ABOVE",
 saveInto: {},
 refreshAfter: "UNFOCUS",
 required: true,
 validations: {},
 validationGroup: "A"
 )
 }
 ),
 a!columnLayout(
 contents: {
 a!textField(
 label: "Text (A+B)",
 labelPosition: "ABOVE",
 saveInto: {},
 refreshAfter: "UNFOCUS",
 required: true,
 validations: {},
 validationGroup: "A B"
 )
 }
 ),
 a!columnLayout(
 contents: {
 a!textField(
 label: "Text (B+C)",
 labelPosition: "ABOVE",
 saveInto: {},
 refreshAfter: "UNFOCUS",
 required: true,
 validations: {},
 validationGroup: "B C"
 )
 }
 ),
 a!columnLayout(
 contents: {
 a!textField(
 label: "Text (D)",
 labelPosition: "ABOVE",
 saveInto: {},
 refreshAfter: "UNFOCUS",
 required: true,
 validations: {},
 validationGroup: "D"
 )
 }
 ),
 }
 ),
 a!buttonArrayLayout(
 buttons: {
 a!buttonWidget(
 label: "A",
 style: "OUTLINE",
 validate: true,
 validationGroup: "A"
 ),
 a!buttonWidget(
 label: "B",
 style: "OUTLINE",
 validate: true,
 validationGroup: "B"
 ),
 a!buttonWidget(
 label: "C",
 style: "OUTLINE",
 validate: true,
 validationGroup: "C"
 ),
 a!buttonWidget(
 label: "A+D (Does not work)",
 style: "OUTLINE",
 validate: true,
 validationGroup: "A D"
 ),
 },
 align: "START",
 marginBelow: "NONE"
 ),
}

We can configure the multiple validation groups in the same field. 
 For example, consider button 1 validation group as TESTONE and button 2 validation as TESTTWO. Then in the field( multipleDropdownField ) configure the validation group as " TESTONE TESTTWO "

Hi Keerthanakr , I hope ,I have understood your requirement correctly. I updated the code, which you can try. Here, Button_A and Button_B will check requiredness for "Name" textField. Whereas, Button_C will check requiredness for "Mobile_Number" textfField. a!localVariables(
 local!name,
 local!number,
 {
 a!columnsLayout(
 columns: {
 a!columnLayout(
 contents: {
 a!textField(
 label: "Name",
 labelPosition: "ABOVE",
 saveInto: local!name,
 value: local!name,
 required: true,
 refreshAfter: "UNFOCUS",
 validationGroup: "Name_Condition",

 ),
 a!textField(
 label: "Mobile Number",
 labelPosition: "ABOVE",
 value: local!number,
 saveInto: local!number,
 required: true(),
 refreshAfter: "UNFOCUS",
 validations: {},
 validationGroup: "MobNumber_Condition"
 )
 }
 ),

 }
 ),
 a!buttonArrayLayout(
 buttons: {
 a!buttonWidget(
 label: "Button A",
 style: "",
 submit: true(),
 validationGroup: "Name_Condition"
 ),
 a!buttonWidget(
 label: "Button B",
 style: "",
 submit: true(),
 validationGroup: "Name_Condition"
 ),
 a!buttonWidget(
 label: "Button C",
 style: "",
 submit: true(),
 validationGroup: "MobNumber_Condition"
 )
 },
 align: "START"
 )
 }
